Bed, Bloodbath and Beyond



If bathtime's too boring for you
Try soaking in deep crimson grue
Ablutions seem duller
Without Technicolor
Let red be your personal hue.

David Cairns

Vincent Price takes a bath in The Tingler (William Castle, 1959).

I'm drawing a bath before bed
There's hot and there's cold running red
The plumbing is creaky
and something is leaky
The body of water has bled

In the bathroom you're taking the plunge
With your loufa, your flannel and sponge
But when you're done disrobin'
Your tub's haemoglobin
Has turned to a big mess of gunge.

The bath's crimson and viscous and icky
Like a simmering bisque thickened sticky
From the tap something poured
like a chap had been gored
for a grim flavored Squishee at Kwik-E
